Lookin fine, how much headroom you got to flower? They will still grow vertical for weeks man, if they don't have much room get them flowering.

well you can start if by soil small grow cups....and then transplanting only stronger healthier examples to 3.5 gallon pots.

The ceiling is 8 feet high. And I just topped all of them. How high after topping them should I let them go. And what do you mean charranoid?

They will nearly double in height from the time you put them in 12/12 till they quit growing vertical, so not long in a closet dude they will take your whole house over hee hee.

Looking good man!! They look happy to me.

For 400W in you might get 9 in and get decent results if you flower directly from clones.

The plants are going to get BIG! I'd add more soil to the containers that will take it. How big are the containers? Looking great, real healthy...their gonna get big (outgrow a single 400W?). :)

good job.

and what kpw555 said^ 9 direct from clone or 2 from seed topped once.

im gonna tell you straight up -- hahaha i love your avatar too -- but i have JUST, last night (really early this morning) finished my cabinet and grounded my baby girls already, and i thought i was going to have this up and running in no time AND it would be easy; i wasn't going to have to use an exhaust or intake, and i wouldnt have to worry about heat, and ALL these other fuckin things! but i see how wrong i always am.

so basically... i started working on this project two weeks ago, and i have worked on it non-stop every night from about 930pm to 2 or 5am in the morning, and i just now finished the entire box and actually still have some slight adjustments that may need to be made; actually, DO need to be made.

i thought i was going to spend like 100 to 300 dollars AT THE MOST. but HELL NO! i have spent in a matter of just seconds, OVER $600! i was NOT expecting that.

i had to get a 180cfm Blower ($100) for exhaust and make an intake ($50 total for all fans) with a fan, and have four other fans going on, and these were two things i KNEW i was not going to have to use... see's how much i know!

but anyways, im just trying to tell you from first hand experience... this IS work, and it IS expensive... BUT Christ Willing it IS an investment.

i would definitely invest your time and energy in trying to gain control of all the environmental affects of that closet, and then you will be set for life.

oh and i would get a High Pressure Sodium lamp... or some lamp that is down in the 2,700k spectrum of color temperature for your flowering period.

best of wishes brother, don't give up hope, because it will be some work and money; but Christ Willing it will all turn out GREAT!

cheers.

i have no idea how many gallons in each pot, but they are 10 inches in diameter if that explains anything lol
and yes i am kinda scared that 400w isnt going to be enough, but i just bought a car so im kinda in debt and not prepared to get a new light, as for out growing, my room is 8 feet high and the plants were a foot and half so i think i should b okay with height wise, but i am thinkin about tying them down to allow more light to access the bottom foliage.
And i just finished germinating my mother plant. its in a dixie cup right now under 3 23w and 1 40w (2700k) on it, so that should hold up pretty nicely considering its just for clones.

oh and i fucked up with the lighting. My light timer was being stupid and wasnt on the right setting, so some days it had more then 12 hours of light and others it had less but not to much less.
will this cause the plants to turn into hermies?
